This is so unfortunate, what a missed opportunity: “However, some CMA recommendations were rejected, such as the use of standardised packaging in hospitals and other healthcare locations to stop the influence of marketing on new parents.” (From Dec 3 Guardian article - I’m having trouble sharing.)

Not regulated enough, sadly, and your abysmal breastfeeding rates show it.

Not long tail from
history, currently happening right now and worse than ever. ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

One of the first and I think still only policies on breastfeeding in place by a global social media business is Facebook’s, and it came years after they repeatedly took down content, and suspended and banned accounts for sharing of breastfeeding images.

Hey Kady, do you know, is the letter still open for signing?

Tonight’s #UrbanismBookClub book tackles better city-making from the communications, branding, & public relations spheres. “Dark PR: How Corporate Disinformation Undermines Our Health & Environment” by my friend @grantennis.bsky.social is a HUGELY important book today. Every urbanist should read it.

Sadly behind a paywall, nevertheless a terrific piece highlighting Spain’s economic progress - a blueprint for Canada. I’m particularly intrigued by their lower infrastructure build costs.

Where’s my eyerolling emoticon…

Equally lifelong feminist and similarly politically aligned … I want Carney to show leadership by embracing the word and moving onto action. Rejecting it is also performative.

Yup.

Young men too, apparently. Nevertheless, Carney had an opportunity to lead here, and he did not.
